Pfattkatt - I have another question. What about secondary positions? Can I draft a player whose primary position is D/D- but is say, B+/D- in a secondary position? Or do all of their positions have to be C-/C- or under?

I'm still pondering joining. In regard to the secondary positions, I've been in leagues like this in the past, and there was something of an honor system where owners agreed not to deliberately use their players in violation of the defense rules and also set their player hierarchies to not include players whose defense didn't meet the requirements. This worked out quite well and allowed people to use the good fielding OF who happened to have a D-/D- rating for a couple games at SS and the lousy fielding 3B who happened to have had a few good-fielding games at 1B. Since I haven't committed to join, I don't really have any business talking, but that scenario worked well for leagues in the past.

justinlee, I do not doubt you at all, and I suppose that, all things considered, that if you have a guy who is B+/B+ and we play him where he is worse, it is to our disadvantage to do so. I would go back and redraft a few postions, so let's let it go. Let's eliminate that restriction, and if we play him out of his best defensive position, OK. But, on the negative side, while it would be wasteful spending to play a guy at a position where his D is inferior, since salaries are based on his best D ratings. Let's take the risk, and let it go. I will eliminate that restriction. I think it will make for a better league.
